Ok I have 8 port mac hatchies still to eat - born 26/2/08 I have tried frozen fuzzies four time even pip them.
Today I tried live fuzzie mice and not interested at all - should I leave them in there over night?
What else can I try to get them eating?
Temps 30 on a heat cord and B2 microclimate

Perhaps bump the warm end up to 31-32, but ensure that doesn't overheat the cool end. Then try feeding at night, try not to be seen or heard and offer the fuzzies on the end of long forceps/tweezers. If they're still not interested, you will need to get them to strike at the fuzzy, so you'll need to annoy them with it a bit, but not too much or they'll stress right out. Rubbing the fuzzy along their neck usually initiates a strike. After a couple of strikes they should hold onto it, then gently back away so as not to disturb them and they should consume it.

Ok all fuzzes are still alive - hatchies don't seem to be interested?
Put the temp up to 32
What's the next option?
